Choose the channel guide button on your remote, check and see if your programming is coming in, if not call Dish to send a programming hit to your receiver.
When you first scan either auto or manual it should ask if you want FTA or the entire channel list.some on the full list are scrambled and are pay for view.if you just want free to air then rescan manually and this will remove those channels that are scrambled.
To see if the problem is with your remote control, go to the receiver and use the channel up/down buttons on the receiver itself. If you can change your channels with the buttons on the receiver, the batteries in your remote control probably need to be changed.
If you can't change channels from the receiver, turn off the receiver. Then unplug it for at least 15 seconds. Plug the receiver back it and turn it on. Again, try changing channels from the receiver itself.
Tune to a channel, and while programming is playing, try tuning to the missing channel by entering the channel number on the remote control keypad to see if channels change. Do not try to select the channel from a channel list, program guide, or favorites list.
If this approach takes you to the correct channel, you need to adjust your favorites list function. Press the "guide" button on your remote. Look for a button on your remote called "fav" or "list." Press it several times and watch for an indication at the top of the guide that you are moving from "all channels" to a particular favorites list.
If you are locked on one channel only, your Channel Lock feature is likely active. Consult your owner's manual to unlock the rest of your channels. See your owner's manual for information on managing favorite channel lists and locking out channels. Enter your password, if necessary.
1. Your antenna/receiver is not properly connectec to the back of your
television or not connected at all so check the back of your television
and connect it properly
2.the channels you are getting are probably not on air at the time you checked so give it a little time and check again
3.if you are using pay per view or pay tv you might have run out of air
time and your channels have been locked due to non payment.all you need
to do is to go and subscribe and your channels will be on again.
You may also have enabled parental view on your tv and that is why some
stations are locked so consult your tv manual to see how to disable
parental view
